Hi all ..
Trying to get the basics of the handle / handle server config within my
understanding. :-)
Currently I have my handle # defined in dspace.cfg I've restarted
tomcat. I also ran the bin/make-handle-config script then ran
bin/start-handle-server.. SO.. now I have some additional java processes
listening on port 2641 and 8000.
My question is do these ports need to open to the world? Or, are these ports
only used internally by the tomcat app during handle operations etc..
Do I need to generate a startup script for the handle server or can I
just tack this on last during my boot sequence after tomcat and after
everything else..
------
thanks

Dear all
I have a machine on which dspace is already installed by our IT team. I
want to know:
1-Which version is this?
2- [dspace]/bin/filter-media file is not available at this path. How i can
build full text indexes?
Thanks in anticipation

The accepted students & projects for Google Summer of Code™ have been
announced!
(http://google-opensource.blogspot.com/2011/04/students-announced-for-2011-google.html)
This year, DuraSpace is proud to be hosting six GSoC student projects,
including at least one project for each of our three technologies
(DSpace, Fedora and DuraCloud)! Competition was tough this year, with
over 20 student applications submitted for various technology project
ideas. But, these six students received high praise and approval from
each of our DSpace, Fedora or DuraCloud Committer teams.

Google Summer of Code officially begins on May 24th! Until then, our
mentors and students should take the next few weeks to get to know one
another, and where possible begin to flesh out more of their GSoC
project plans. See the GSoC Timeline at:
http://socghop.appspot.com/gsoc/events/google/gsoc2011
If you are interested in providing ongoing feedback to our GSoC
projects, or wish to receive more frequent updates, you should join our
public 'duraspace-gsoc' listserv:
http://groups.google.com/group/duraspace-gsoc/
Again, congratulations to all the students accepted into this year's
Google Summer of Code! We look forward to working with you this summer!

Alice,
I did some digging around and it turns out that DSpace is using PDFBox to do the text extraction. Back in 2007, this bug was reported in PDFBox:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-234
<https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-234>And it looks to have been fixed in PDFBox Version 0.8.x. Our installed version of DSpace (1.6.1) is using PDFBox version 0.7.3.
In digging through the DSpace Jira site, I found this, which indicates that this problem is fixed in DSpace 1.7.1
https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-704
DSpace now includes a much later version of PDFBox (1.2.1).
<https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-704>I guess it's time to upgrade!

Subject: [Dspace-general] Filter Media Text Error
In recent weeks we have uploaded content (PDF) that produces some strange text when filter-media is run.
The text in the PDF is selectable and readable but the corresponding *.txt file created by filter-media has removed all spaces between words.
So we are unable to search for certain words (e.g. scientific plant or animal names) because the terms are all run together in one string.
I have attached both files, but if they are not transmitted due to listserv software, etc. an example is below.
My question: Has anyone else run across this or can anyone tell me what the problem is?
I once thought it was the manner in which these files were scanned, but I am able to select, copy and paste the text from the PDF and it maintains word and character spacing.
The PDF reads, for example:
larval stages of the Xanthidae are better known than those
of any other family of the Brachyura. This doubtless is due to the
fact that the adults habitually are found in shallow water near
the shore and usually are very abundant. Ovigerous females may
be taken without trouble, and thus the early zoeal stages may be
known with certainty.
But the lines from the corresponding *.txt file shows
larvalstagesoftheXanthidaearebetterknownthanthoseofanyotherfamilyoftheBrachyura.Thisdoubtlessisduetothefactthattheadultshabituallyarefoundinshallowwaterneartheshoreandusuallyareveryabundant.Ovigerousfemalesmay

Thank you very much for the response.
Did u do up gradation from 1.3 to 1.6 or between some other later
versions..?
I was also thinking the about the same procedure...but some where where i
read we can't jump directly form 1.3 to 1.6...
It says that there 'll be some problem like index un matching and so we have
to go up each version that is from 1.3 to 1.4, 1.4 to 1.5, 1.5 to 1.6.
i just want to make sure about the procedure before starting.

The documentation for 1.6 includes upgrade procedures from each
previous version to the next one. As it says near the top, you need
to start with (in your case) 1.3 and carry out the database and
configuration upgrade steps for each version between there and 1.6.2.
You do *not* have to install each version; you only need to ensure
that the database schema and configuration will match the version you
want to end up with, and that must be done incrementally.
http://www.dspace.org/1_6_2Documentation/ch04.html
I haven't gone from 1.3 to 1.6.2 directly, but I have skipped versions
in the past. I found it helpful to read through the instructions for
each version upgrade and write out a combined procedure as I read,
then do what I had written.

We would like to add multiple file formats to an item in addition to the article in HTML format. Can anyone tell me if this is possible? I have added the HTML page with embedded files OK, as described in the help files:
'If you're uploading an HTML page with embedded files, click on the "Add Another File" button, and upload all files or bitstreams referenced in the html page. After all the are uploaded, in the column marked "Primary Bitstream", select the bitstream or file that is the index page or the top page for the web page. This will ensure that all of your embedded files will display properly on the HTML page.'
So far so good. However, I now want to add a pdf version of the article (for example) as an alternative view. But having selected a primary bitstream for the HTML files the pdf remains in the background edit view only. Is it possible to make this bitstream display?
We are on 1.5.2
Many thanks

I advise that u installe another instance of dspacewith the latea st version
on a separate server.
Then
1. Make a Postgresql dump of the old database
2. Restore it on the new server
3. Copy assetstore from old to new
4. Reindex
5. Test

I finally figured it out.... It turns out it was because of the JDK switch I
did; I installed DSpace on Ubuntu 10.10 which has the default OpenJDK
installed.
phiri@...:/var/log/tomcat6$ java -version
java version "1.6.0_24"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_24-b07)
Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 19.1-b02, mixed mode)
I however switched it with Oracle's but the switching was performed after I
had already built the application using ant. In a nut shell, I suspect the
issue was as a result of using different JDKs during the installation
process and after.
Thanks to all those who attempted to help.

We are trying to get a count of all of the files in our Dspace instance.
Not just the number of submissions since each can hold multiple files. Is
there a simple way to do this?
Thank you in advance.

This could be a permissions issue. Check that the permissions on the bin dir and scripts are applicable to the user.

Hello,
So I forgot to mention a couple of things that might perhaps be of interest
• DSpace version installed is 1.7.1
• OS is Ubuntu 10.10
• Servlet container is tomcat6
I hope someone can help.

I have been struggling with this problem for two days now and I can't quite figure out the issue. I am a new DSpace user and recently deployed the application. Unfortunately, I keep getting the error below every time I try and create the administrator user. Would greatly appreciate it if you could help.
